The death of Zamzam Mahamid, 19, in Umm al-Fahm on Wednesday didn’t make the headlines. She was killed by an unknown assailant who shot her at close range as she walked down one of the city’s main streets.
Witness accounts gathered by Haaretz suggest that Mahamid had been the victim of violence and exploitation, and had lived in Haifa for the past two years. One friend said Mahamid left her family’s home apparently due to the violence she had experienced there, and then faced exploitation from people outside her family.
